In addition to the standard quality criteria, there are a number of product-dependent requirements. This applies in particular to the manufacture of technical textiles.…

Polyetheretherketone fibres (PEEK)

The polymer is formed by polycondensation. The fibres are obtained by melt spinning.

Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT)

Polymerisation takes place through polycondensation. The fibre is obtained through melt spinning.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

The polymer is formed by polymerisation. The polytetrafluoroethylene fibres are manufactured using a process known as matrix spinning, a type of wet spinning process.
